Achillea ptarmica ‘Peter Cottontail’

‘Peter Cottontail’ is a compact selection of sneezewort, carrying densely packed clusters of small pure white fully double button flowers from midsummer to early autumn. Fine narrow toothed green leaves form a tidy clump.

Plants reach around 40 to 50cm tall in flower, much neater than the tall old forms, so they hold their shape well without flopping. Brilliant cut flower with excellent vase life.

Plant in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead regularly to keep new flower clusters coming. Divide congested clumps in spring every few years.

A firm favourite for a cottage border, cutting garden, or cool-colour scheme alongside blues and soft pinks.
